Bacon Please!

 

Today I am going to ‘talk’ to you as if you were here in my kitchen ~ I think it will be fun!  A little me mixed with an older, more country, southern woman.
This is a bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise supper with fried green tomatoes on the side.  I have been thinking about a BLT since I started this post so just maybe I can eat one for supper

Ya’ll grab you a plate and fix it the way you want.  Everything’s set up on the island.  Fix your own plate.  Sweet tea or coke.  We got them both.

Now kids ya’ll be sure and dry off before you come in.  Don’t get the floor soaking wet or you will fall.  These floors are slick when wet.  Oh I know that water feels good today!

These tomatoes are fixin to be ready..ya’ll come on and get you some fore they get cold.

Did ya’ll hear me?  Eat your those tomatoes first before they get cold.  They ain’t no good cold.

I need a coke.  Sometimes when I really get hot, nothing is as good as a coke.

Ya’ll hold up…we have to bless the food.

Amen!

Oh I forgot the paper towels..would you bring them to the table?

Yum…I think I will be eating two of these.

Lindsey ~ why don’t you run to the market basket and get us a pretty watermelon for later.

I taped the stories so we can watch them later. (Some older ladies call soap operas, ‘stories’)

You know your daddy is asleep, just listen to that tv.  It’s as loud as it will go and he ain’t muting it on the commercials.  O’Reilly put him asleep again.

Sentimental

Been feeling a bit sentimental lately.  Do you ever have days like that?  So being in this mood I brought out these old plates that were my grandmother's.  I remember us having family gatherings at the table and eating with these plates.  It was a long time ago but I have such good memories.  Only the three little sisters remain.

 

 

 

Wasn't my mother beautiful?  She only wore lipstick and a touch of foundation.  I shared this photo with Anita Diaz/Far Above Rubies and she shared it on her Facebook page, I believe this past December.  I didn't know if I had what it took to be a blogger yet.  I am still learning so much and love it!

 

 

 

 

Currier & Ives, "The Old Grist Mill", Underglaze Print by Royal.  It looks like it may be a snow scene, which is perfect for this time of year when it is hot.

 

 

 

 

  I am so blessed that I have those same plates!  I don't have all of them but I treasure the ones I do have. 

 

 

 

 

This fabric was left over from a sofa I had recovered in it years ago.  The sofa is gone but I held onto this.  I still love the fabric.  The colors are perfect to me, I could never decorate in neutrals.  Well, never say never, isn't that right?!  I have been thinking of going lighter in my bedroom....still just thinking about it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love silver in the summer!  It looks like it would be cool to the touch.

 

 

The birdcage was black when I bought it.  I spray painted it with some left over car paint!  It's supposed to be a very light gold but I see silver when it's next to gold or brass.

Tarnished creamer on blue and white saucer.

The blue hydrangeas are showing off this year and giving me that blue that I need in the summer.    I had roses that had seen their best day and just pulled all the petals off and placed them into the birdcage.
